Quick rant: I purchased a pixel 2 xl and a Pioneer NEX headunit and was very excited to get Android Auto in my vehicle. Since day one it's been a raging dumpster fire. Biggest issue being Android Auto just won't launch on my pixel 2 xl and my wife's pixel 2. However my Nexus 6p works perfectly. Sometimes it launches within a few minutes, sometimes it takes my entire 45 min commute to work and it never launches. It's like it's RNG based. Once connected it stays connected. I'm not going to into all the other frustrating bugs such as volume issues, Assistant coming out of different speakers, hangs, crashes, weather tile is now gone somewhere, and many more smaller gripes.
Now that that's out of the way does anyone make a ROM or unofficial app for Android Auto that works on some of these issues? In the past I relied on the community to fix Google's shortcomings. It may just be that since this only seems to affect the pixel 2 and Android Auto that there are only a few people experiencing the issues I am. With only a few affected there may be no community attention.
Not sure if this is what you are talking about, but there is the openauto project and crankshaft:

Since his Nexus 6p is working very well the issue is on the phone end, not the HU. I am having similar issues with a Sony Z3 compact I am playing with to keep AAMirror on. However, other phones running latest version AA 3.1 have no issue at all - Note8 on Oreo, S8 on Oreo, S4mini on Lineage 14.1 all connect ASAP to my Suzuki HU.
Hi,
I have used Android auto with 3 phones with my current car (2017 Civic). Pixel 2 was running great, 6T runs great as well, but Note 9 is unusable. The animations are very slow, they never finish completely unless I touch the screen, and it just feels horribly laggy compared to the Pixel or 6T.
I've updated the Android auto app of course, factory reset the phone many times, tried with Oreo, with Pie Beta 1 and with Pie Beta 2 and same even if Beta 1/2 seem faster, they are still very slow.
Has anyone ran into the same problem before?
Saw this thread just now and have the exact same problem with my 17 civic and 10+
Heard it might work better if you change the usb cable- have you tried that?
Nice phone overall just a few gripes
1. Android Pie - no word at all when we will see it, phone is still at Oct 5 2018 security pack.
2. unable to determine band phone is on - LTE discovery will only show band two, most of the time the other bands just DL/UL freq of 6657.7Mhz
3. erratic determining my location , apps like nest complain of erroneous when trying to geofence...
4. android auto will continually crash first thing in the morning till you start the program then exit it.
no crashes so far, just little thing like some programs not quite working correctly, maybe Pie upgrade will fix it. No much of taking pictures with the phone but do miss the night-vision on my pixel two. have not seen any warmup when using it day to day, battery life is pretty good.
btw, the Razer wireless charging base when the phone is on it will spin up a cooling fan inside of the charger unit. can hear it in a quiet room...
Change to item 2
LTE Discover appears to be an abandoned app., no response to email sent and no update since middle of last year.. Someone suggested Network Cell info https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wilysis.cellinfolite which works correctly and does show the band that I am on (b66)..
Seriously can't believe razer phone 2 is still on oreo. Am glad I didn't fall for this phone again like I did with razer 1.
Switching back to my pixel 2xl till Pie is out, tried to get a date from razer and got the generic cut-n-paste reply.
I upgraded my phone from Galaxy S8 ( SM-G950F) to Galaxy Note 9 ( SM-N960F) and I noticed really poor performance when using Android Auto with my car head unit. It was OK when I was using Galaxy S8. AA ran fine on the phone (Note 9) itself. Below are some of the things I noticed when using AA with Note 9.
Every button touch up to 10 seconds to load and sometimes will not fully load (animation stuck halfway) until I touch another button or hold and drag the screen.
Scrolling is unusable (hit and miss), difficult to properly scroll and select the item I wanted.
Voice control is laggy and may take 5-6 seconds to respond to my voice command.
Audio worked fine (Call, Spotify & Navigation voice).
I have tested with AA version 3.x up to 4.1, all shown similar behavior. My current phone OS version is N960FXXS2CSCB, running Android 9 running OneUI 1.0. I have also tested pairing my head unit with other phones (Xiaomi Mi 8 & Huawei P20 Pro) using AA version 4.1 and they were working fine.
I contacted Samsung, they have no solution too. Only says they will bring the case to their internal team to take a look, no further update from then (it was 2 weeks ago).
I tried to find similar issue on the internet and below are some that I can find, none has any solution.

Any of you faces similar issue? Any possible fix?
UPDATE: The latest update in May 2019 (Build N960FXXU2CSDE) fixed the problem
Yesterday(9/16-2020) my phone got the android 10 update. How is it in the europe? Any updates in any country?
In the offic Forum the rollout seems to be in Italia, Sweden, Belgium, Germany, Romania, Poland... right now.
But it seems only the retail one but not the Amazon Alexa one.....
I have the reteu version of motorola one zoom. So I don't think that it's only the retail
Reteu is the "normal" parker/zoom version.
(AMZEU)Reteu with release channel AMZEU is the Amazon Alexa Motorola one Zoom Edition.
Just got it in the UK on my amazon alexa device
Motorola One Zoom unusable after Android 10 update
Hi,
I got the official upgrade to Android 10 for the Motorola One Zoom yesterday (Sep. 16, 2020) as well.
I am based out of Switzerland.
For the time being, I strongly recommend NOT to install it.
It broke several things, which makes the phone virtually unusable.
1. Several apps crash almost immediately after starting, including basic functions like Phone (yes, the phone itself, so you cannot place or receive calls), Contacts, parts of the Settings function, Google Play or WhatsApp.
2. Battery drain in stand-by is now between 5 and 10% per 10 minutes. In a couple of hours may the phone is dead. There is only a minor improvement in switching to battery saving mode. If you actually use the phone it drains much faster
3. Bluetooth disconnects every 5-10 seconds. You cannot use any BT earpiece, headset or hands free. BTW, this means the Swiss COVID app, which uses BT to track possible contacts with infected people, is not working either
I had to bring back from the dead an old phone and put it back to work, as the One Zoom is unusable for the time being.
Again, I hope other One Zoom owners will be luckier with Android 10.
Please share you experience....
PS. My One Zoom is an XT-2010-1 and Android 10 build number is QPH30.29-Q3-28-13

I received Android 10 in Czech Republic yesterday. It is as stable as it was with Android 9. Battery life is excellent. I don't experience and noticeable standby drain. There is definitely something wrong about your device. I hope they will resolve it with another update.
Overall my Moto Zoom is the most stable phone I've ever had. I believe there are many satisfied used of this phone. But people usually don't post positive feedback.
If anyone reading this from Moto, thank you for this phone. I really enjoy it. I don't even care it was on Android 9 until yesterday as long as it worked fast and stable. Newest software is not always the best software.

I confirm it's a great phone, and I was a delighted Moto One Zoom owner and user, up until the Android 10 upgrade yesterday.
The experience has shaken my enthusiasm and confidence quite a bit, and as a further confirmation that Murphy's Law is still valid, this happened when I most needed the phone to work for professional reasons and caused major disruptions in my activities.
Separately, can you please share your model number and build as well?
It may help me focus my efforts to get the issue fixed with Motorola support.
Thx
Had the update, UK Amazon Alexa edition. So far no probs, no crashes or anything bad to report.
Sadly still no WiFi calling, which is pretty pathetic.
Working good till now
Hi there,

昨天早上接收到推送，安卓9升级安卓10，还很兴奋。
升级完成后可以上网，但是无法接打电话，朋友用微信告诉我才知道。
我使用的是中国电信，支持cdma，4g，lte，现在感觉很闹心。
请问你的问题解决了吗？
